Rising Costs Force Another Dorm Fee Increase for Fall
Dorm fees for both men and women residents will be boosted this September to $1,100 a year. This will be the first time both fees will be
the same.
Since September, 1966, men have been paying $1,050 and women
$1,030. USC is the only private institution in California to have different fees for men and women.
The principal reason for the hike is the new federal minimum wage law. Estimated cost of the new provision as it affects USC dormitory workers is approximately $100,000 a year. The new fee will just about cover this cost.
RAISE BASIC SCALE
“It was a matter of either paying the time-and-a-half for any hours over eight worked or raising the basic pay scale. We chose the latter as being the most beneficial for both our workers and the university,” Elton Phillips, university business manager, said.
Also adding to the cost increase was an underestimate on the cost of installing the telephone systems in the dorms. It was originally slated to cost $42,000 but ended up at $52,000.
“The added telephone expense, rising costs and the time-and-a-half
provision have made it impossible, for ua to keep the rate at $1,050,” Phillips said. “We had hoped to remain with this fee for a while longer, but these unforeseen costs have made this unrealistic.”
Stanford University is already charging its dorm residents $1,140 per year.
Since September, 1959 there have ben four boots of the dorm rates. In 1959 the fee was $870. In September, 1962 it was raised to $900. an increase of 3.4 per cent. With the installation of telephones in September. 1964, an increase of 11 per cent was effected, raising the cost to $1,000. The present price of $1,050 was assigned in September of 1966.
DORM CONDITIONS IMPROVED “We have worked very hard with both tht Men's and Women's Residence Hall Associations to try and meet their needs and wants.’’ Hrbert Haberson, director of residence halls, said.
“We now have several meals a week with both men and women dorm residents dining together. We have changed the meal schedule on Sundays, giving a larger meal in the afternoon instead of the morning and serving dinner at the regular time. We’re also looking into using linen in the dorm dining halls at. the evening meal as well as constantly trying to upgrade our menus.” '

BISHOPS EMISSARY TO SPEAK
Fatima versus Communism
By STAN METZLER Assistant to the Editor
The classic Biblical tale blames it all on the woman. It was she who took the apple from the serpent, she who urged on man's sin. she who is resnonsible for suffering, pain and meaninglessness.
The modern. Catholic version blames it all on “the serpent.” Coming in the guise of Communism, he has confronted the woman, the Virgin Mary, in a strategic conflict for the control of the world.
Just what this conflict is, what the Virgin has revealed to man about its spread, and what can be done about the current situation will be explained today at 12:15 p.m. in Bovard Auditorium by Francis K. Schuckardt. Catholic lay leader and special emissary of the Bishop of Fatima.
Speaking on “The Communist Manifesto vs. the Fatima Manifesto,” Schuckardt will center his talk on the message supposedly delivered to the Church by the Virgin through three peasants, who saw her vision in a tree near Fatima, Portugal.
A few days later, over 50,000 pilgrims were gathered at the spot w'hen they witnessed what appeared to be the sun hurtling toward them in a circular motion.
At the original vision and subsequent witness, the Virgin is said to have given exact revelations concerning the future spread of Communism, the annihilation of nations and an eventual peace plan.
Schuckardt, twice rescued from impending death through what he views as miraculous circumstances, believes it to be his mission to carry on the work of the Virgin and combating communism.
Accordingly, he has devoted his life to work with the Blue Army Cell Program, a Catholic movement that dictates a continuous study of Christian precepts, the forces of anti-Christ and the message of Fatima in depth and detail.
In 1959 he was named “Apostle of the Month” for his work with the Blue Army, but he still spent much time as a college student, researcher and teacher.
Schuckardt's first escape from death, in 1961, came after he had lain in bed with typhoid for eight days and was expected to be dead by morning.
"If you cure me,” he prayed to the Virgin, “I will work in the Blue Army more than ever ”
The next morning he asked for food« and in a few hours dictated to
a nurse the details of the cell program.
He still continued his work as a teacher, however, not feeling ready to devote his entire life to the Blue Army work.
Early in 1963 he was back in the hospital, this time stricken with thrombo-phlebitis of the legs. Clots were forming, and the doctors had decided they would have to amputate.
The night before, he pledged: “Dear Mother, if you save my legs, I will use them to spread and to extend the cell program wherever you want me to go.”
The doctors then decided an amputation was not necessary, and Schuckardt has devoted his entire life since to the Blue Army, taking over as lay director of the Pacific Region and founding the Knights of The Holy Eucharist.

The ASSC Executive Council will vote on USC’s affiliation with the United States National Student Association Sunday evening at 5:30 p.m. at the YWCA.
All students are invited to be present at the vote, which will be taken during the regular council meeting.
The National Student Association is an organization of student governments. Approximately 260 American colleges and universities are members.
USC was a charter member of NSA when it was established in the late 1940’s, but withdrew in 1957 because of a shortage of ASSC funds.
A great deal of controversy ha? arisen since ASSC President Taylor Hackford proposed the affiliation in mid-November.
Major opposition has come from the Trojan Young Republicans, who claim the cost of joining and maintaining membership in NSA is not worth the benefits.
In a series of articles in the Daily Trojan on Dec. 12 and 13. Hackford attempted to refute fche arguments against membership. However. TYR passed a resolution on Jan. 5 urging the Executive Council to vote against NSA affiliation.
Answering suggestions that the entire student body should be allowed to vote on affiliation with NSA. Hackford said:
“The members of the Executive Council represent the entire student
body.
“Student government has made progress this year, and it would only be a step backward if students did not give their elected representatives enough credit to vote on this issue intelligently.
“They should not shirk their responsibilities by seeking the easy way out and leaving it up to others to decide.”
Hackford feels students have had enough time to make their feelings known to their representatives.
He said he understands TYR is planning to circulate a petition calling for a referendum on NSA if the council votes in favor of affiliation.
“TYR is playing kind of dirty by waiting until after the vote, when they knew way in advance when the vote would be taken,” he asserted.

TYD Says Opponents Wrong About Tuition
TYR Head Denies Election as Invasion of CYR by Liberals
By ANN SALISBURY Assistant City Editor
Linda Dulgarian. president of Trojan Young Republicans yesterday denied ch?r?es she claimed were made by metropolitan newspapers that liberals have taken over California Young Republicans as a result of recent elections.
Miss Dulgarian said she felt this charge was silly because CYR has traditionally championed a conservative philosophy. She feels they would not suddenly switch to liberalism wrhen given the tremendous mandate of conservatism provided by Ronald Reagan.
Miss Dulgarian said she and Curtis Mack were delegates to the California Young Republican Convention Rt w’hich the new officers were elected. Thirty-seven delegates attended the convention from Los Angeles.
“In my opinion all the officers elected are conservative,” Miss Dulgarian said. “They all supported Reagan. Goldwater and Finch. The basic difference tj^p Young Republicans will
experience is a new approach.
“President John Hix and the rest will be concerned with building membership of the YR’s in California. Part of the difficulty was that one group felt that a lot of time should be spent putting stress on eastern affairs.
“I feel, though, if California is strong and powerful internally, it won't have to w^orry about the East.”
Arthur McClure, one of Hix's opponents, was the Los Angeles and California Young Republican general counsel. McClure was present at the TYR meeting last semester at which TYR voted to sever relations with CYR.
McClure, an attorney, had come to the meeting with the intention of clarifying legal questions and speaking out against the split, but he was not allowed to do so by the former TYR president, Jim Stauffer.
Miss Dulgarian said she is disappointed that McClure didn’t win, but felt that the election was close. She is looking forward to working with the new officers.
LINDA DULGARIAN
TYR President *
The Trojan Young Democrats charged yesterday that remarks made by the Trojan Young Republicans a-bout TYD's opposition to UC tuition reflect the general ignorance of the Republican administration concerning the problems of California.
In a prepared statement, TYD President Shelley Linderman challenged TYR's statement that his organization’s part in Saturday's march on Sacramento is “unacademic and downgrading ”
Approximately 16 members of TYD will arrive in Sacramento tomorrow to join an estimated 30,000 students and professors from state colleges in the march.
The march symbolizes opposition to Gov. Reagan’s attempts to thwart education in California, Linderman In replying to statements made by TYR President Linda Dulgarian in yesterday’s Daily Trojan, Linderman said state scholarships could hardly be called needless expenditures that should be eliminated from the state educational budget.
“In short, the needless expenditures include USC students on s»tate scholarships,” he said.
“The TYR’s accused the Democrats of blindly accusing Reagan of charges that have not been investigated. Yet Reagan is deliberately deceiving the people of California, for the cut in the budget will raise, not lower, the taxes.
“The immediate effect of tuition will be an overcrowding of junior colleges, which are supported by property taxes. There will be a tremendous increase in property taxes.”
“The TYR’s have also asserted that Gov. Reagan has agreed to sit down with student leaders. Yet this weekend when the students are going to Sacramento. Gov. Reagan will be in Oregon making a speech promoting his presidential prospects in 1968,” Linderman said.
Financial Aid For Business
Qualified candidates may receive fellowships, assistantships, loans or other financial assistance for graduate study in business administration at USC during the 1967-68 academic year.
General fellowships providing sums ranging from $2,500 to $3,600 or more a year are available to students in any graduate program of the school. National Defense Education ,Act Fellowships are available to those intending to pursue teaching careers.
Research assistantships are offer-
Daily Trojan came out in favor of USC's affiliation with the National Student Association, noting:
“In order for USC to take its place as one of the major American universities, it must be up with the times. And with student opinion playing an ever-increasing role in national affairs, USC must have the opportunity to be there when those opinions are formulated and to have a say in what they will be.
“We feel USC should join the National Student Association. We feel groups such as TYR are doing the university a disservice by oragnizing a protest, which has no chance of succeeding anyway.
“The University of Southern California must move into the forefront of student ideas in the United States. It can do so as a member of NSA, which is the voice of the American student. It cannot do so as an outsider, as a mere gadfly.”
Spurs Aid Cupid for V-Day
By MARGIE BESTEK
It's that time year again—hearts and love and all that.
On Feb. 14. people all over the nation will be exchanging declarations of love and USC is right in there cheering love on.
One campus organization in particular is trying to assist Cupid in his attempts at matchmaking — Trojan Spurs.
Spurs, sophomore women's service organization, opened shop yesterday in front of the Student Union, where they will be contributing to the cause of love until Feb. 14 in the form of Spur-O-Grams.
Spur-O-Grams are not ordinary run-of-the-mill telegrams, but telegrams that are to be used only for Valentine messages.
For example, one message to a local university president reads: "Dear Norm, you are always in our hearts and in our pockets. Love, T. Trojan and Friends.”
The messages will be delivered to any dorm, sorority, fraternity or neighborhood apartment on Feb. 14 (Valentine's Day) for the small fee of ten cents.
The money will be placed in the Spur’s treasury and will eventually be used for various services the organizations performs on campus.
Some of the messages being sent were rather revealing about USC students. For example:
“Dear Willy, Happy “V" day Tar-zan. My love always. Jane.”
Quite a switch from the conven-tional “Roses are red. violets are blue” type message.
Even professors and department heads are getting in on the action this year. However, the Daily Trojan was unable to determine whether any of the above messages were sent by one of them.
A vailahle Graduates
ed to qualified individuals by the USC Research Institute in Business and Economics.
Teaching assistantships are offered students with teaching experience.
Other forms of aid are a low-interest student loan program, as well as parttime employment opportunities in the school.
Fellowships are granted only to students who have been admitted to the USC Graduate School of Business Administration. Deadline for applications for NDEA Fellowships is Feb. 16; for others, March 15.
